It&#39;s very strange that I hadn&#39;t changed a single solitary thing about the Enigma. The Cross Check on the other hand has been through more regenerations than Doctor Who! And we&#39;re about to swap out the front fork - for non-fit reasons but it&#39;ll give me the opportunity to play around with that extra centimeter or two that I&#39;ve haven&#39;t had.Rebecca Oldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979821146538393459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659690394638399722.post-56628007646981929262015-10-01T14:53:21.690+01:002015-10-01T14:53:21.690+01:00Good stuff, Wolf, it&#39;s great when trial and er...Good stuff, Wolf, it&#39;s great when trial and error works out, and I know you love that Roadrunner! :) Rebecca Oldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979821146538393459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659690394638399722.post-28289831678274888272015-09-28T03:18:23.625+01:002015-09-28T03:18:23.625+01:00I think for a long, long time I believed that if t...I think for a long, long time I believed that if the bike wasn&#39;t perfect immediately (or close to it) then it had no chance of working for me. I think that changes to stems, saddles - the things that really can make a difference - are a great way to make a bike that is close to working be much closer to ideal. I&#39;m slowly starting to realize that there really are ways to make almost anything work, assuming that I have the patience to play and see what works.<br /><br />I&#39;m interested to read about your real world experience on the Cross Check and to find out if the changes will make it more ideal for you. I agree that stack is often the part that I struggle with on bikes. If that isn&#39;t there, I have to figure out ways to get it to a comfortable point. I had the same issue with my CC - the fork had been cut when I bought it, which meant I couldn&#39;t get much more out of that, other than to change the stem to one with some rise.G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659690394638399722.post-45392997498356596322015-09-27T22:24:19.959+01:002015-09-27T22:24:19.959+01:00I haven&#39;t gone into the science of a bike fit ...I haven&#39;t gone into the science of a bike fit but I did build my own bike from the frame upwards to suit me more for cycling by having a light frame that was smaller than the frame on my existing bike &amp; was built more thru trial &amp; error to get it right. The end results was Roadrunner &amp; is a great bike to ride, managed 100km ride on its 1st long ride &amp; was wonderful to ride.
